Remembrance Day is this Friday. The kids are learning about peace at school and what the poppy stands for. I wanted to talk with the kids more about the sacrifice Canadians made for us to have freedom. I decided not to overdo the Poppy and we used our handprints to make Canadian Flags. We had a great teaching lesson while painting.
A loss of life hits close to home for us. My husband's cousin lost her fiance in Afghanistan three years ago...a few weeks before their son was born. Please take time to remember those who have lost their lives fighting for what we live everyday.
Linking up with Wordless Wednesday over at 5 Minutes For Mom.
